A Walkabout With Jesus

I think it is time for me to do another walkabout with Jesus.  After all, He was a great walker.  Everywhere he went, He walked.  As Charles Foster reminds us in his book, "The Sacred Journey,"  He was always walking and inviting others to walk with Him.  It has been awhile for me since I have taken the Word and allowed it to lead me on a serious walk with Jesus.  It is not that I have thrown my Bible on the shelf as something I have already read, I have just been reading things other than Matthew, Mark, and Luke.  

When I was preaching every Sunday, I used the gospel lectionary passages which gave me a plan for investing a lot of reading time in one gospel each year.  Lately, I have developed some bad Bible reading habits like mostly reading sections I regard as favorites.  John is my favorite gospel so the first three have not gotten much reading time.  I am figuring my commitment to do a walkabout with Jesus will get me back on the road so that I can listen in again on some conversations, see some of those things known as signs and wonders, and feel His heart beating.   

I know Jesus.  I know about Jesus.  He has had my heart since I was boy thinking about becoming a man.  He has been the prime directive of my life.  There is not a day that I do not call His name and seek to be in His presence.  A walkabout sounds good.  Maybe what I am hearing is my heart longing for "Mary moments" of just sitting at His feet and listening.  Anyone wanting to walk along is welcome!
